In the words of Coach Z, "Good Jorb!"
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed this trolling wasn't more elaborate.
Fake ISSN? Check.
Thinking having an ISBN or ISSN means you're published? Check.
Complete lack of content? Check.
Lack of research into previously existing PDF e-zines for Bitcoin? Check.
Confusing self-distribution through personal site and being distributed? Check.
I give it 3/5 stars for effort, with comical emphasis on this line:
Carry on!

A response from you was inevitable and not really a major concern.
Feel free to call the ISSN fake. It is more accurately referred to as "new" so when databases get updated, search results will be fine.
The current state of publishing is only the initial soft rollout online.
I am not concerned with the checklist you are providing, we will proceed on our own merits.
As always, feedback is appreciated

An ISSN number does not make it published, but it does make it easier for retailers to get access
So then it's not published? When are you planning on publishing it? I'd really love to order a copy when it's ready. This flattery is too novel to ignore.

No worries. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
Sources right now out there are limited, that's for sure, but the original material we have is innovative and will grow exponentially. This is only a very humble beginning.
This is issue #0. It is a "lite" issue but covers the information needed to expose Bitcoin to a new audience. There are also no advertisers, so it may seem a little thin, but it shows that a professional magazine can be produced about Bitcoin on time. Our print editions will be ready shortly
The To-Do list on the back cover essentially sums up some of our next steps and we will be making additional announcements shortly.
This effort will progress and improve over time and feedback is always appreciated.

I enjoyed the article "Why Bitcoins Suck (And What To Do About It)". The writing was clear and to-the-point. The only suggestion for getting the public to use bitcoins was to discount products, which is a good idea, but remember merchants save money by accepting bitcoin. They can pass those savings onto the consumer since they don't have to pay credit card fees. I just thought that was an important aspect of bitcoin that wasn't mentioned.
When I first heard of bitcoin I figured merchants had the most incentive to drive the use bitcoins (Memory Dealers) because of lower fees (Bit-Pay), and I still do. Many merchants are accepting bitcoin for that reason. Adding more payment options doesn't hurt.

No examples?
Although your effort is noted, it looks like this was put together in a few days.
No REAL interviews? Barely any authors?
Dont take it personally, just constructive criticism

Coineer: This is what he is talking about. A bit surprised that you haven't seen it since the thread has been on the first page a lot over the past few months.
I am actually well aware of that particular site and the threads surrounding it, which was why I said if there was one that was not an eZine or "coming soon". I like , I like! Also, this is the "first bitcoin magazine" because guess what ? IT is OUT FIRST!

Well, I haven't seen the other magazine yet, so...
